Mission
Assassin Francisco Scaramanga, known as "The Man With The Golden
Gun", has stolen a device which will allow him to control solar power
for criminal purposes. Bond is assigned to stop him, but Scaramanga's
Golden Gun has 007 in its sight.

Mary GoodnightPlayed by Britt Ekland

Goodnight is Bond's beautiful but inept contact in the
Far East and is more of a comic relief than a true Bond girl. Britt
Ekland was first offered the role of Scaramanga's girlfriend but the
producers changed their mind when they saw her in a bikini.

Andrea AndersPlayed by Maud AdamsMaud Adams The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)

Anders is Scaramanga's girlfriend and sees Bond
as her
savior from her boyfriend's grasp. She tries to steal the
Solex Agitator for Bond, but is killed when Scaramanga
finds out. Maud Adams returned to the Bond series as the
title character in Octopussy

Fransisco ScaramangaPlayed by Christopher Lee
Scaramanga plays the title character in The
Man With The Golden Gun, as the the best and most highly paid
assassin in the world (at $1 million a 'hit'). He plans to
monopolise solar power and when Bond gives chase, Scaramanga
challenges him to a duel on his island. Of course, 007 comes out as
a winner. Coincidentally, actor Christopher Lee is Ian Fleming's
cousin

Nick NackPlayed by Herve Villechaize

Nick Nack is Fransisco Scaramanga's diminutive assistant who gets
thrills from trying to use others to eliminate his boss. Nick Nack
is the controller of the man with the golden gun's play house -- he
knows that when his master dies, he will become the heir of the
estate.

Sheriff JW PepperPlayed by Clifton James
A hick sheriff from Louisiana, Pepper first
met Bond in Live and Let Die while Bond was escaping from
Kananga's henchmen by motorboat. JW serves as comic relief in The
Man With The Golden Gun. He really isn't an ally, so to speak.
Instead, he serves as one of Bond's contacts.

Lieutenant HipPlayed by Soon Taik-Oh

Hip is the Hong Kong police officer assigned to work
with Bond to recover the Solex Agitator. When he pretends to arrest
Bond following the assassination of Gibson, he inexplicably fails to
tell 007 that he is actually bringing him to a meeting with M, thus
causing Bond to have to initiate an escape. Later, after he and Bond
flee Hai Fat's henchmen, Hip speeds away in his car leaving Bond
behind in the dust to fend for himself. Hipe later suffers the
indignity of disguising himself as a peanut vendor at a boxing
stadium. Although he succeeds in recovering the Agitator, Hip makes
the mistake of entrusting it to Mary Goodnight.

M Played by Bernard Lee
The head of MI6, M gives Bond his assignments and is
the only person 007 answers to. This M in particular, Bernard Lee,
first appeared in Dr. No and featured in every other one up
to Moonraker when he died shortly after filming.

A bronze AMC Madator owned by Scaramanga, which
had the additional feature of a detachable wing/jet engine module
which attached to the roof of the car, giving it more than just the
ultimate driving pleasure. The vehicle which left both Bond and JW
Pepper with their jaws hanging open.

After a high speed pursuit by Bond, Scaramanga
drove his car into an old warehouse and attached the wing module
to the roof. As Bond and Pepper attempted to break into the
warehouse, Scaramanga drove down the "runway" and
jet-setted into the air and over the heads of James Bond and JW
Pepper, who gasped in amazement.

A 1974 bronze AMC Madator, two door, with the
following modifications:

Detachable wing with jet engine, which attached
to the roof of the car

Alternating dashboard that changes into an
aircraft instrument panel

Duel fuel tank, one for car fuel and one for
aviation fuel

Scaramanga's base was actually a volcanic rock

Christopher Lee is the cousin of Ian Fleming.

Britt Ekland, real name Eklund, is the ex-wife of
Peter Sellers who starred in the spoof of Casino Royale.

Britt Ekland was pregnant during the shooting.

Felix Leiter is a main character in the book
version, yet he does not make an appearance in the film version.

The name Scaramanga came from a Greek man Fleming
knew named Pandia Scaramanga whom he met on the island of Hydra and in
whose island house he stayed in. Fleming actually asked permission to
use the name, letting him know that he would be a villain. Mr.
Scaramanga, being a superstitious man, replied: "I certainly do
not mind your using my name but please do not to kill me."

The scene where Scaramanga and 007 stand
back-to-back, with their guns drawn, is a reference to the John Wayne
western The Comancheros (1961). The only difference was that Nick Nack
counts to 20, instead of 10.

When Bond finds Andrea Anders in the shower,
the reflection of a crew member can be seen in the mirror's reflection.

79 Years of Integrity, Quality and Innovation

Colibri takes the lighter to the next level in great design and variety,
without compromising fine, functional craftsmanship. In 1928, Colibri
introduced the world’s first automatic lighter. It was an immediate
success and the first of a host of innovative products that would secure
Colibri’s position as the leader in lighter technology. Eighty years on,
Colibri continues to lead the way with beam sensor, cigar, sport and
multi-function lighters, along with a wide selection of impeccably styled
and detailed smoking accessories.

The Golden Gun from the film
“The Man With The Golden Gun”.

In 1974, the famous ‘Golden Gun’ in the James Bond classic The Man
With The Golden Gun starring Roger Moore was made by Colibri.

In Fleming’s novel, the golden gun is a gold-plated .45 calibre
revolver; however, for the film, it was a single-shot weapon that fires a
custom made 4.2-millimeter golden bullet. The instant kill technology
relies on the bullet shattering akin to a fragmentation grenade.
Scaramanga uses such a weapon to emphasize his peerless skill as a pistol
marksman and the fact that he only ever needs one bullet to kill a target.
The gun also separates into a gold cigarette lighter, a gold cigarette
case, a gold cuff link, and a gold pen so as to avoid detection.

Every Colibri product is individually inspected to ensure it conforms
to a rigid quality control standard and each product is back by a
worldwide one-year repair service warranty.
